Liked: What a well kept and spacious site. Getting ready for the show at the end of the month. But still looked after like royalty. Access to site was easy and well sign posted. Town is only a short walk, 15 mins. Take away couriers will deliver to site. Will return in the future.
Disliked: Toilet facilities need attention. Hire facilities are on site for free.

Liked: Good site location — easy to walk into Shrewsbury. Pleasant pitch location. Lovely hot showers with modern toilet and sink in each cubicle in mobile unit. Friendly and helpful staff (Sue). Sunday morning car boot sale.
Disliked: Old Ladies (and Gents apparently) toilet blocks left a lot to be desired. Grateful for the mobile unit. No shop on site or nearby for basic provisions — Spar a good distance away.
